A California woman named Lauren Wasser is sharing her life story in order to prevent other women to go through the ordeal she has gone through all because of a common product.
Back in 2012, this model went to the hospital because she experienced flu like symptoms that wouldn’t go away. Sadly, once doctors ran tests, they determined that it wasn’t flu that caused Lauren discomfort but toxic shock syndrome caused by bacterial toxins.
It was determined that the cause which led to the infection was a tampon. If left for long hours, tampons can cause this infection which leads to a toxic shock syndrome or TTS.
Sadly, Lauren was in coma for over a week and doctors were forced to amputate her leg because of the infection upon awakening. At the time, she was only 24 years old.
Ever since this tragic event, Lauren made it her goal to raise awareness and fighting a legal battle against Kotex Natural Balance, the brand of tampons that caused her to react so severely.
In a few months, I’m inevitably going to have my other leg amputated. There’s nothing I can do about it. But what I can do is help make sure that this doesn’t happen to others,” Lauren tells The Daily Mail.
“Considering that the vagina is the most absorbent part of a woman’s body and is a gateway to many of our vital organs, it is crucial that consumers know the reality of what could happen to them,” she writes in InStyle.
Following the second amputation, Lauren posed alongside Paralympic athlete Amy Purdy, who also had her legs amputated.
“Life is about to be so different, again! I’m in great spirits though and ready for my next chapter. ???♀️??♂️ // photo by my love @camraface,” she wrote in the caption.
We are cheering for Lauren who is determined to live her life to the fullest regardless of the obstacles and the pain she was forced to go through.

“A teenager’s face on a granny’s body!” Photographers captured Foster’s appearance in real life.
These pictures caused the people to even question Foster’s age! The 60-year-old actress looks like this when she doesn’t wear makeup or filters!
Everyone was shocked by Jodie Foster’s current appearance. The talented actress was captured on camera by photographers who seized the opportunity to catch the popular movie star unaltered by makeup, filters, or retouching.
She belongs to the group of movie stars who don’t see age as anything more than a number and who embrace their natural selves without having to visit beauticians and cosmetologists too soon.
Recently, camera lenses have photographed the gifted movie actress unretouched and without makeup. Her natural appearance, devoid of makeup, amazed everyone.
“It’s hard to believe that this is actually her!,” “Please don’t confuse unkemptness with embracing natural beauty!”,” “A lady should always take care of herself regardless of age,” and “She should take some time for herself too!”
We look forward to hearing from you in the comments!
